OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Tabitha on November 22, 2009 at 11:05am: pocahontas: i feel the same way! we're staying with my mom right now and im not sure she's even going to put up her tree? we're thinking about heading back to Maine for Christmas and my hubby's parents are BEGGING me to leave Christopher w/them so the hubby and I can be alone for PIR and make up for lost time! It's very tempting but I haven't decided yet! Hubby said he could always fly down to FL while in "A" school to see Christopher so, to me it sounds like he may want it to be 'just' me? I keep going back and forth w/the idea!

Comment by Tabitha on November 21, 2009 at 11:29pm: well im hitting the hay early tonight-trying to fight the sore throats and hoping it's not the flu settling in :( Goodnight Ladies-until morning!

Comment by Tabitha on November 21, 2009 at 11:25pm: it's crazy in just 3 1/2 weeks since our SR's left how different they are...and how happy they seem :) so glad everyone seems to be having a positive experience in this journey! = D
